Silverfield says an in-season staff change is possible after Arkansas' 34-10 loss to Missouri

Oklahoma parted ways with offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle on Monday, and Arkansas coach Ryan Silverfield was asked if he'd consider a move of his own. He said that option is always on the table. The Razorbacks are last in the SEC in total offense and in scoring.

“I think it's my job to always put our program in the best position to have success, no matter what that looks like.”
Offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey has been the target of fans unhappy with his play calling. Silverfield said he has "great faith" in him. About the Missouri game, he called the turnovers "inexcusable" and added the seven drops "cannot happen."
